Background: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have emerged as serious public health problem worldwide affecting all the populations across the globe in general but low- and middle-income populations in particular. The current study was planned with the aim to assess the awareness among rural adolescents about NCDs and their risk factors. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Miran Sahib Zone of RS Pura Block. Students from intermediate classes from ten intermediate level schools, five government, and five private setup were selected for inclusion in the study. A predesigned, pretested, and self-admissible questionnaire was developed by three public health experts for use as a tool to collect the data. Results: Male respondents had better awareness about NCDs (P < 0.0001). A higher percentage of male students thought that lifestyle changes could prevent NCDs (P < 0.005). Conclusion: There is a need to reinforce the knowledge among adolescents in those areas about NCDs where they are lacking some knowledge.

Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are the most common developmental epithelial nonodontogenic cysts occurring in the oral cavity. This fissural cyst develops from epithelial remnants of nasopalatine duct. However, their origin is still uncertain. These cysts are usually asymptomatic and the most common clinical symptom reported is swelling in the anterior part of the palate, just behind the palatal papilla. We report a case of NPDC in a 19-year-male patient with classic clinical, radiological, and histopathological features.

Context: The availability of appropriate tools and equipment's according to the dominant hand is very important for safe and effective dental education and professional dental practice. Aims: To study the effect of handedness on professional practice in left and right handed dentists from Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Settings and Design: Cross-sectional study of left handed and right handed dentists (including students pursuing final year in dentistry, interns, post graduate dentists and professional dentists) Subjects and Methods: A self devised questionnaire was drafted with due reference to the review of literature. The pre validated questionnaire was administered to the study subjects via a face-to-face method. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive analysis of the data was done using mean and standard deviations for quantitative data and proportions for qualitative data. Results: 53% of left handed were males rest 47% were females. Currently 53% of the left dominant dental population were using left sided dental chair however 83% would prefer to use left sided chair in their future practice. 93% of the left handed population did not receive suitable tools according to their hand preference. 80% did not receive the guidance based on hand preference during the educational years. 7% of right handed and 20% left handed dentists experienced injuries due to the right biased tools and/equipment's, whereas 7% suffered an injury due to right biased layout of work. 37% of the left handed population believed that their performance would be better if they would have been right hand dominant. Conclusions: Handedness was found to have profound effect in the professional work of dentists in both students studying dentistry as well as in professional dentists.

This article presents modification of band contouring plier into arch wire cinching plier (P-Cincher), which is easy to modify and user-friendly. The conventional method for arch wire bending is by heating and bending of distal ends of the arch wire with the help of light wire plier or Weingart plier, this method of arch wire bending is time-consuming, and it may loosen bands or debonding of bondable buccal tube while cinching. This plier is designed to overcome disadvantages of conventional method, and it will definitely help in faster and effective cinching of arch wire.

Esthetic dentistry, driven by a high demand for esthetically appealing and naturally looking restorations, especially, all-ceramic restorations, has become a segment of dentistry which has experienced tremendous improvements in the recent years. The increasing use of polycrystalline alumina and zirconia as framework materials and the increasing popularity and variety of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems seem to be mutually accelerating trends. In fact, CAD-CAM technology opens up a new opportunity for dental biomaterials scientists in the research field. Newer and improved materials are available at every moment. The present review gives an overview on the different materials available in ceramics used in dental CAD/CAM technology. A search of English language peer-reviewed literature was undertaken using MEDLINE and PubMed with a focus on CAD-CAM ceramic articles published between 1996 and 2014. A hand search of nonindexed literature was, also, completed. Search terms included: CAD/CAM; All Ceramics; Zirconia. The literature demonstrates that multiple all-ceramic materials and systems are currently available for clinical use and there is not a single universal material or, system for all clinical situations.

The rehabilitation of patients affected by posterior maxillary atrophy by the aid of implant-supported fixed prosthesis presents a challenge in many cases. The available residual alveolar ridge is insufficient for the placement of dental implants because of alveolar bone resorption, pneumatization of the maxillary sinus, or their combination. Maxillary sinus floor augmentation is the treatment of choice in such cases. Sinus lift procedure can be carried with or without simultaneous implant placement. Recently, various newer techniques have been introduced for sinus floor elevation such as antral membrane balloon elevation, water lift technique, and piezosurgery. Furthermore, short implants and zygomatic implants can also be done in severe posterior atrophied maxilla.

Enlargements of soft tissue of the oral mucosa often present a diagnostic challenge because a diverse group of pathologic processes can produce such lesions. Lobulated capillary hemangioma of oral mucosa is a well-known benign lesion occurring most commonly on gingiva. Diagnosis of such lesions becomes difficult many times as an enlargement may represent a variation of normal anatomic structures, inflammation, cysts, developmental anomalies, and neoplasm. Some of these lesions are reactive in nature. This article focuses on a series of three similar cases on gingiva, clinically diagnosed as “pyogenic granuloma” and histopathologically as “lobulated capillary hemangioma.”

The exact matching of the artificial eye prosthesis with contralateral eye is the main aim of any maxillofacial prosthodontist to achieve adequate esthetics. Ocular prosthesis can be given as stock eye shell or by modifying a stock eye by making an impression of the ocular defect. Another method is a fabrication of custom-made eye prosthesis by sclera painting or using digital photograph. Advantages of custom-made eye prosthesis are well established over stock eye shell so, this article presents a case report of patient-wearing stock eye shell with poor esthetics, and the same was replaced with custom-made eye prosthesis fabricated using an image taken with the digital statutory liquidity ratio camera to gain the superior ocular esthetics.
